[edit] Gharjamai

Gharjamai (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A very, very vague article. I don't even know what the heck its actually meant to be talking about. There are no references stated and barely any pages that link to it Debaser23 11:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I am still working on it. Links will soon be up.

Suggest adding "formal tone" status rather than deletion ? Pete Orme 11:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but rewrite - the term seems to be of note, and even a fairly perfunctory Google search turns up some useful material about it, but the article at present is rather POV and too informally written. ~Matticus ^T_C 11:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment - If this page wants to have any chance of survival I think we need more people writing it than Xghostfacexx because so far that user has been the only editor. Debaser23 12:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and Clean - Searched Google, appears to be a valid term. Needs some formal tone and be written more from the NPOV. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. It's not a English-language term. It's a term used in many Indian languages (Hindi/Bengali/Gujarati/etc.) for a man who lives in his in-laws house, instead of his own. Most of the stuff in article seems to be exaggerated. There's a movie called "Ghar Jamai", though. utcursch | talk 18:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The term is used in subcontinent with different pronounciations and synonyms. In Urdu the word "Ghar Damad" is used where damad is the urdu word for son-in-law. The pronounication "ghar jawai" is also used. voldemortuet 18:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and comment - The gujju tranlsations are horrible, but it seems notable.Bakaman 07:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - It's not an English word and IMO not relevant in an English language encyclopedia. - Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 02:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• I'm going to say Keep in light of recent edits. For Parthi and others, here are some non-English words that are relevant in an English language encyclopedia: Panzer, Rio Grande, Ahimsa, Schadenfreude. A Train ^{take the} 20:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the term 'Gharjamai' refers to a live-in son-in-law. That's what the article says. Pretty clear what it's about, just written badly. Anomo 22:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
